Super Bantamweight Title to Be Defended at Glory 64 Strasbourg On Saturday, March 9

(C) ANISSA MEKSEN vs. (#1) TIFFANY VAN SOEST

AMSTERDAM – GLORY, the world’s premier kickboxing league, today announced details of the promotion’s return to France for GLORY 64 Strasbourg on Saturday, March 9.

Strasbourg’s Rhénus Sport will play host to a long-awaited rematch between the top two super bantamweights in the world today.

Last time she entered the ring, super bantamweight champion Anissa Meksen (97-4, 31 KO, fighting out of France) had her finest performance under the GLORY banner, stopping Jady Menezes with a barrage of strikes at GLORY 61 New York in November.

At GLORY 64 Strasbourg, Meksen will face the foe that presented her toughest challenge to date in former super bantamweight champion Tiffany “Time Bomb” Van Soest (19-3-1, 6 KO, fighting out of the United States).

Van Soest was GLORY’s first super bantamweight champion, fighting and winning four times for the organization before dropping the belt in 2017 to Meksen at GLORY 48 New York. Now ranked as the division’s No. 1 contender, Van Soest has an opportunity to erase the lone blemish on her GLORY record by defeating Meksen.

Duut is coming off a blistering, buzzer-beating knockout of Mourad Bouzidi at GLORY 59 SuperFight Series, while Abena returns to France after making his promotional debut at GLORY 60 Lyon, where he defeated Stephane Susperregui via unanimous decision.

France’s Abdellah Ezbiri (No. 2-ranked featherweight) and Zinedine Hameur-Lain (No. 5-ranked light heavyweight) are both expected to compete on Saturday, March 9, with respective opponents and bout order yet to be determined.

Broadcast details and additional bouts for GLORY 64 Strasbourg, GLORY 64 SuperFight Series and the GLORY 64 prelims will be announced shortly.
